Meanwhile, Luke’s plight has sparked a fundraising drive and the North Wales Cancer Treatment Centre and urology department recently raised money to buy him an iPad Pro to give him “contact with the outside world.”

"Long road ahead"

Pauline is also arranging a charity ball and a JustGiving account set up to support the family has raked in more than £1,000 in 24 hours.

“Luke and his family have a long road ahead and we want to be able to give them one less worry by raising as much as we can to help with whatever they need,” said Pauline.

The charity ball will be held on May 13 at the Kinmel Manor Hotel in Abergele.
